Determining Affordability

The first step is to establish a comfortable monthly budget that works for you. Consider not only the rent but also additional expenses like council tax, gas, electricity and water rates. It's important to be aware that you will also need to pay a deposit equivalent to five weeks' rent and the first month's rent in advance.

Remember, rent is calculated on a calendar monthly basis, with 12 equal payments throughout the year.

Navigating the Rental Process

Determining the right offer price for a property can be challenging, but we are here to assist you. By comparing other properties you have viewed, you can gauge the appropriate price range. Keep in mind that desirable rental properties tend to get rented quickly. While most landlords are open to reasonable negotiation, the outcome may depend on factors such as your status, requirements and earliest move-in date.

Once your offer is accepted, a non-refundable holding deposit equivalent to one week's rent is required to secure the property. Rest assured, if the landlord fails to adhere to the terms of the initial deposit agreement, you will receive a refund. This deposit then becomes part of the advance rent and deposit.

To process your application, we require your identification documents. Please ensure that your employer, accountant, or former landlord promptly completes the necessary forms.

Before the tenancy begins, we conduct comprehensive background checks through an independent credit check agency. These checks verify your previous tenancy record, proof of income and ability to meet rent payments.

Please note that only individuals named on the tenancy agreement are permitted to reside in the property. If you have children, pets, or smoke, it is essential to inform us in advance to ensure compliance with the tenancy agreement.
